Hensel Phelps Construction Co. contracted A.H. Beck to install the drilled shaft foundations for their Red Side Terminal expansion at Tampa International Airport. A.H. Beck was tasked with installing 145 drilled shafts, varying in diameter, with depths ranging from 15 to 80 feet socketed into Florida Limestone. There were many challenges posed on the project due to congested work areas, dense utility networks, and low overhead restrictions. Beck utilized one of their CAT based drill rigs tailored for low headroom and demanding rock excavation techniques to install the foundations.
